Grateful Badass Reads. Currently reading this one. Consider it Pure Joy by #JenniferJonesAustin Jennifer Jones Austin I’ve nearly just begun and cannot put this book down. Obstacles, Faith, Perseverance. Purpose. So far, it’s all of these things. I’m reading it along with #ABWANYC.

Thank you to New York City Council Corey Johnson Daniel Dromm Keith Powers for recognizing the importance of jail oversight & calling for increased Board of Correction budget. Stronger, independent Board will lead to safer and more humane jails today and in a post-Rikers future.

Join us on Tuesday, September 17 at #CentralLibraryJamaica for an inspirational talk with Jennifer Jones Austin (Jennifer Jones Austin), who will share her story of survival. You will also have the opportunity to join the @BeTheMatch Bone Marrow Registry! queenslib.org/313krjQ





Everyday during #BlackHistoryMonth we will honor chapter leaders, advocates and partners who are shaping Black History now. Today, we honor Jennifer J. Austin




Thank you Mayor Eric Adams & Maria TorresSpringer for the opportunity. I’m humbled to have this incredible opportunity to serve the City as Senior Advisor for Workforce Development. Thank you NYCETC for a great four years. www1.nyc.gov/office-of-the-…

In New York City we don't just celebrate #BlackHistoryMonth, leaders like Deputy Mayor Anne Williams-Isom make that history every day.

The evidence is clear: rolling back #RaisetheAgeNY will not make us safer. We need to invest in a public-health response to gun violence, not return to failed, racially biased policies of the past. @CarlHeastie Sen. Stewart-Cousins Governor Kathy Hochul

Human services workers need fair and equitable wages NOW. And it all begins with funding a 6.5% COLA & multi-year deal for our essential workers. #JustPay #JustPay | Human Services Council of New York @unhny @ujafedny @nmicnyc CPC New York City Council Mayor Eric Adams


#JustPay | Human Services Council of New York Such a sad and disturbing truth.
